Nigel Bradham

A linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles was arrested at Miami International Airport, accused of carrying a loaded firearm in a backpack at security, Miami-Dade police said Monday.

Nigel Lorenzo Bradham, 27, of Miramar, has a concealed weapons permit but faces a misdemeanor charge because the permit did not authorize him to take the weapon into an airport, Detective Marjorie Eloi said.

The athlete told officers Sunday morning that he forgot the firearm was still in his bag.

"It was clear that there was no criminal intent on his part to carry the weapon into the secured area of the terminal," the police report said.
